FAQ
-
Orum Therapeutics is a public biotechnology company pioneering the development of Degrader-Antibody Conjugates (DACs). Our mission is to cure cancer and other serious diseases by combining the precise tumor-targeting power of antibodies with the potent intracellular destruction capability of targeted protein degraders(TPD).
-
Orum Therapeutics, Inc. is incorporated in South Korea.
-
We operate as a global biotech to leverage the best talent and infrastructure in both regions:
HQ and Lab: Daejeon, South Korea
US Lab : Lexington, Massachusetts, USA
-
Unlike traditional Targeted Protein Degraders (TPDs) that can affect healthy cells, or traditional Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) that use cytotoxic payloads, our TPD² (Dual-Precision Targeted Protein Degradation) approach uses antibodies to deliver novel protein degrader payloads directly into target cells. This "dual precision" improves the therapeutic window, making drugs potentially safer and more effective. Our most advanced platform leverages GSPT1 molecular glues as payloads.
-
While both use antibodies to target cancer cells, the difference lies in the payload (the "warhead"):
Traditional ADC: Uses a chemotherapy toxin to kill the cell.
DAC: Uses a protein degrader (molecular glue) to degrade specific proteins essential for cancer cell survival (such as GSPT1). This allows us to kill cancer cells that might be resistant to chemotherapy or traditional ADCs.
-
ORM-6151: This program (targeting CD33) was acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) in 2023. BMS is currently responsible for its clinical development (NCT06419634)
-
We have validated our platform through high-profile global partnerships:
* Bristol Myers Squibb: Acquired the ORM-6151 program.
* Vertex Pharmaceuticals: Entered a multi-target license and option agreement to use Orum’s TPD² technology for gene editing conditioning agents.
-
Our lead internal asset is ORM-1153, a DAC that targets CD123 to deliver a GSPT1 degrader. It is being developed for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. We are also advancing a broader preclinical pipeline using our PROTAb platform.
